Every day you and I face a variety of choices regarding the path we take. Many things influence our decisions for both good and bad, yet God wants us to choose daily to walk according to His ways. Over the next 9 days I will be sharing from the devotional journal, “Walk This Way”, with the prayer that it helps you to grow in your walk with God as you pursue a greater understanding of the path He calls you to.
Here is day twenty-three with an important reminder that walking God’s way will lead you on a path of righteousness.
“My fruit is better than fine gold; what I yield surpasses choice silver. I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice, bestowing wealth on those who love me and making their treasuries full.”
Proverbs 8:19-21 (NIV)
What does righteousness mean to you? How do you become righteous? What does your answer to that question say about how you should go about walking a path of righteousness? What would righteousness look like in a person’s daily walk? How would it impact the way you interact with friends? With strangers? With coworkers? With enemies? With anyone? What does your righteousness say about you relationship with God?
God makes it clear in His Word that there is no one who is righteous. Yet before you give up on walking this path of righteousness, I must point out that He also says that all who are in Christ have been clothed with His righteousness! As you pray, ask God to help you to see yourself both as you really are and as He sees you. Pray that you would daily choose to walk in His righteousness. Pray that God would fill you with wisdom to choose the way that is right in all of your dealings with people. Pray that the people around you would catch a glimpse of God’s righteousness as they watch you.
In prayer,
Tom

Every day you and I face a variety of choices regarding the path we take. Many things influence our decisions for both good and bad, yet God wants us to choose daily to walk according to His ways. Over the next 10 days I will be sharing from the devotional journal, “Walk This Way”, with the prayer that it helps you to grow in your walk with God as you pursue a greater understanding of the path He calls you to.
Here is day twenty-two with an important reminder that walking God’s way will lead you on a path of rest.
This is what the LORD says: “Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, ‘We will not walk in it.’“
Jeremiah 6:16 (NIV)
Are you weary? Do you ever feel that you are carrying a burden that is simply too large for you? Do you ever have times when you feel that your soul is at complete rest with God? What leads to those times? What seems to prevent those times from happening? Would having a soul at rest help you experience physical rest? Does a lack of physical rest make it more difficult to be at rest in your spirit? How important do you think your rest is to God?
Through Jeremiah, God instructs His people to look for the ancient paths and discover a good way where we will find a path of rest. The people of Jeremiah’s day refused to walk in it and many times we stubbornly follow suit. As you pray, ask God to help you seek out His ways that you would have respect for His instructions of old. Pray that you would find rest for your soul as you choose to follow His ways and not fight against Him. Pray that you would value rest for both body and soul as you recognize God’s intent in establishing the importance of a sabbath day each week.
In prayer,
Tom

Every day you and I face a variety of choices regarding the path we take. Many things influence our decisions for both good and bad, yet God wants us to choose daily to walk according to His ways. Over the next 11 days I will be sharing from the devotional journal, “Walk This Way”, with the prayer that it helps you to grow in your walk with God as you pursue a greater understanding of the path He calls you to.
Here is day twenty-one with an important reminder that walking God’s way will lead you on a path of renewal.
“Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.“
Isaiah 40:30-31 (NIV)
Do you ever feel worn out? I know, silly question, right? Who doesn’t? How did you get that way? Did it happen overnight or was it a gradual culmination of things that slowly eroded the newness out of your life? What does it take to renew your hope? Your strength? Your stamina and endurance? How patient are you? Do you expect complete renewal to take place overnight in a life that has taken years of neglect to wear down? What could you accomplish if you were to walk a renewed path?
God says that we all grow tired and weary and that we all have times that we stumble and fall. The good news is that He provides a renewed path when we put our hope in Him and wait on His timing. As you pray, acknowledge the times when you are worn out and in need of renewal. Pray that God would help you to wait upon the Lord as he renews the path for you. Pray that you would consistently spend time with God and His Word in order to maintain this renewed path. Pray that the people around you would be refreshed as they walk a renewed path.
In prayer,
Tom
